Twitter: Stephen Jones: Josh Norman wants too much for Cowboys comfort

[Nightman]

We can talk ourselves out of Deion Sanders these days....Norman is awesome....no guts no glory

It's paralysis by analysis......Jerry the Wildcatter is long gone...I never want to hear he is a gambler again

I get it but I'm starting to think that Stephen believes any cap money not used goes to him.

The fans here bought in as well......lock, stock and barrel.....cap space not used is not trying 100% to win

 

[Stash]

Actually they do. They are estimated to have $58MM in cap space after this season per Over the Cap. Top 15 in the league which is where Philly was.

Good to know. Thanks for the knowledge. They got out of Cap Hell pretty well. And pretty quickly.

Dallas isn't a contender enough to justify 16mil for a cb.

And why should they be a contender? They've only had 20+ years to develop a contending team, the majority of which has been with a top-five QB. They need more time.

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

As long as the Skins dont get him, I'm OK with us passing on him.

 

[texbumthelife]

The only position worth $16M a year is quarterback and that's only because they touch the ball every snap. Von Miller might be the only other player I would pay that to just because he is so disruptive and consistent.

CAR has some DLs coming up for paydays soon. They're passing on Norman because what he wants won't fit into what they have available. And apparently he was unhappy enough with the $14MM he'd have gotten this year that they thought it would cause bad blood.

I'm not sure what the Commanders' cap situation is, but it had better be pretty loose if they're making long-term room for him like this. They think they've got a QB to sign long-term, too. It seems like an unnecessary risk to me, but it's the Commanders. Let's hope they do it and then hope they regret it.

They want to sign Short long term. They may let Star walk....starting to break down due to injuries.

The Skins get him and we are not happy. They already got a good one in Breeland, Culliver looked OK when healthy and Norman is a stud.

i never wanna hear people ***** about jones again.

looks like we both better get used to disappointment.

They'll have a tough time becoming a consistent contender if they don't fix the secondary. Adding cheap parts isn't going to get it done.

Revis average contract is $14MM per year from the Jets. $39MM guaranteed.

Sherman's average contract is $14MM per with $40MM guaranteed.

Peterson's average is $14MM per with $47MM guaranteed.

Norman is good. But I am not sure he's better than any of those three to command $16MM a year on average.

and the cap has gone up 23m since they signed those deals

 

[dfense]

I had a dream last night. Josh Norman signed and Dallas drafted Ramsey. Instant top 5 secondary. Who needs a pass rush?

So what? Just because the cap has gone up doesn't mean you have to pay a lesser player more than the three top CBs on the market.

Norman isn't worth $16MM a year. He just isn't. And before you paint me as one of these guys that is fearful of spending FA money, I've been banging the drum all offseason that the Cowboys have gone too cheap. But giving into what Norman wants is absurd IMO.

 

[zack]

Good stance. I wouldn't pay him that kind of cash. Let him go to another team that doesn't have the defensive line and linebackers that Panthers have and let's see how he does. As a matter of fact, look at the rest of their secondary and tell me if you would want those guys starting for the Cowboys?

that is just how it works and he is one of the best......54 Passer Rating best in the NFL......All Pro

 

[65fastback2plus2]

Pay Josh Norman $16 mil...."too expensive"

Pay Brandon Carr $14 mil...."steal of a deal"

LOL

 

[Cowboy4ever]

This is the right move. He is good but not great. He had a good to great year last year and if he can do it again, then maybe we discuss that kind of money. No way would I sign him any where close to 15m a year. Maybe 7 or 8 a year. He was stupid, should have played under the tag for 14 million, put together another great year and then went out to seek his fortune.
